5. Design feet and cut out two per critter from construction paper. Glue them torepparttar bottoms ofrepparttar 109116 bags sorepparttar 109117 litter critters will be able to stand up.

6. How about making signs to go withrepparttar 109118 critters? Use slogans such as "Beware ofrepparttar 109119 Litter Critter!" or "Every litter bit hurts." Tape or glue them to craft or popsicle sticks or put them through a pencil point.

7. If your project is ongoing, graph how well it is proceeding by putting on a smiley or sad face, daily; you can either draw or use stickers. This will keep track of how clean or messyrepparttar 109120 designated area is. Perhapsrepparttar 109121 individual or group that cleans his/their area first can receive a reward.

8. Follow up by asking which areas in your school or community could use a good cleaning. Could you start, or get involved in, a School or Neighborhood Cleanup Day? This idea would certainly complement a unit on environment or pollution.

I hope these ideas are useful and ignite your own creativity!
